POV: kaiden
The remaining periods after break came by in a flash and it was 9th period. I had never been more distracted as I am now.
Throughout the periods Jace occupied every nook and cranny in my mind. Every ounce of my concentration was directed to him.
Even the kiss was still bothering and quite a little disturbing. The thoughts that had been running wild in my head was; 'why did he do it? Why did I feel that way? Is he thinking about it as much I am?'.
"Watch it man!" A Blondie yelled shoving me as I bumped into him. I stumbled slightly and looked up now noticing that the Blondie was none other than Jack.
Said boy had dyed his hair blonde. 'How did he dye it in school?' I thought. 'Wait never mind, this jack we're talking about.'
Now registering the situation without the help of my hazy mind, I shoved Jack back with as much force he applied and maybe a little more.
He stumbled back into his small click of friends taken aback. Within a few seconds the shock was wiped off his face and there was only one emotion.
Rage.
Jack has never been the one for words. He was one of the percentage of people who took the phrase 'Action speaks louder than words' very seriously. His hotheadedness and ego weren't a good combination and at this moment I knew I fucked up.
His fist was hurling towards me and I didn't even have time to think before it landed square on my jaw, turning my face to the side at the immense force.
A surge of pain racked through my right jaw. It felt like I was hit in the jaw by a metal water bottle and was to leave a bad bruise.
As I was about to throw my own punch I was held back. I struggled in the person's grip trying to break free and land a few punches on Jack's sorry face.
"Let me go, so I can sock that motherfucker!" I yelled trying to free myself from the mysterious bondage.
Jack smirked and chuckled evilly before turning around and walking off.
After he was at a safe distance and my rage had dispated I was finally let go. I turned to glare at the fucktard.
"The fuck did you hold me down for!" I yelled exasperated. Caleb just stared at me like I was dumb.
"Dude you're clearly out of it, and you're scaring everyone." And indeed I was. I looked around to see a small crowd of students who had gathered with fear and disbelief written all over their faces.
I muttered a word of apology and walked off to my last class. Caleb caught up to me and held me back.
"Whatever is bothering you right now, just know that I'm always one call away if you need someone to talk to." With that said he walked away to his next class.
Caleb is a very good friend, that's what makes him my best friend. He knew the right thing to say at the right moment.
He's probably the most mature one out of all our close friends.
The shrill sound of the final bell snapped me out of my thoughts. I packed my books into my bag and sluggishly walked towards the detention room.
I stood in front of the door that had 'Detention' boldly written at the top of the door with an obviously fake golden plaque.
I walked into the room and it was empty, much to my amusement. At least I had enough peace and quiet to gather my shit together.
I walked to the end of the classroom and sat at the last chair close to the window.
The soft gentle breeze that was flowing into the room from the slightly opened window was soothing and it made me forget my thoughts.
Speaking about my thoughts, I don't even know why I'm so bothered about it.
Jace is just a friend and he can't be nothing more. Nope. Naa. Nada.
The door opened suddenly and a figure walked into the room.
Speak of the devil.
Jace walked into the room with his head hung low. He took the first seat in the front roll without looking up or sparing as much as a glance towards his surroundings.
Typical.
I let out a low chuckle at his predictable antics. His head snapped up and he looked back only now noticing that there was someone else in the room along with him.
As fast as his head snapped back it snapped forward, I was almost completely convinced that he's going to end up getting whiplash.
The soothing air suddenly changed into a tense one. The tension was so thick and uncomfortable.
I shifted slightly in my seat as my thoughts swirled around, pestering me.
I sat there staring at the back of his head to the extent that I could count the number of hair he has on his head.
I wonder what he's thinking now, maybe the whole thing isn't bothering him as much and I'm just overthinking things.
Fuck it.
I stood up from my seat and walked over to jace.
POV: Jace.
I haven't been in detention more often than not. And the thought of going makes me feel...... Bad?
I walked into the well polished golden brown door with a limp in my steps and my head hung low, trying not to notice any one around.
I usually wondered why there usually isn't any teacher or supervisor, it just doesn't make sense.
I heard a low chuckle from behind me and I thought I was thinking aloud.
I turned my head around to see who it was, and as fast as I turned my head backwards I turned it back forwards and almost got whiplash.
The person that who had occupied my mind and the one who got me in detention was sitting down at the last seat close to the window.
Kaiden.
My muscles tensed as I was not ready to face him or have a decent conversation with him.
He probably didn't think much about the kiss.
Who am I kidding?
That kiss was the most gayest thing to do your best bro and I most certainly not gay.
He must think I'm weird or disgusting.
"Earth to Jace." A mysterious voice said.
I jumped slightly at the unexpected. Kaiden sat on the chair close to me looking so calm and collected, like as if nothing had happened.
The moment he got a very good look at me his expression changes from one of calm to concern.
"What happened to you?" His voice soft and laced with genuine concern. He stretched out his hand to touch me but I flinched and looked away.
"N-Nothing. I just fell is all." I said as I looked up at him but still trying to avoid direct eye contact.
He seemed to see through my lie but decided to drop it.
"The kiss meant nothing." I blurted out without thinking. My eyes widened as I registered what I just said.
"What?" He asked.
"I-I meant that..... the kiss. It was just a... Kind gesture?...... Yes! It was to show my appreciation towards you for-" My blabbering was disrupted.
"Calm down Jace, I didn't even think much about it." He said softly. I blew out a breath of relief, now I could breath property.
"So what got a goody-two-shoes like you into detention?" He questioned raising a mock scrutinizing eyebrow.
I grinned wildly at his playfulness as the tension eases out and we started talking as if nothing happened. It was like we made a silent agreement not to talk about 'the incident'.
